Awesome writeup! I wonder whether with a real contact mic (Korg offers one for about 20 bucks) you could get much better results. Due to no 3,5mm on phones anymore it might be easier to use a sound-enabled SBC though.

This is definitely the way. Even the old wired mics Apple phones used to ship with that had the little rectangle mic works better because you can press it right up against the case back.
